Why we picked this hotel
Most small hotels this central give you little reason to stay beyond the bedroom. Hôtel du Temps adds a courtyard for slow mornings, a rooftop for sunny afternoons and a bar that brings locals through the door after dark. It feels connected to Madrid rather than sealed away from it.
Hotel description
On a narrow street between Malasaña and Gran Vía, Hôtel du Temps brings the easy charm of its Parisian sibling to central Madrid. Behind the pale tiled façade, vintage pieces, patterned floors and objects collected over time give the hotel the character of an eccentric private home rather than a polished city chain. A planted courtyard and intimate rooftop provide rare breathing room in one of Madrid’s liveliest neighbourhoods. Breakfast runs until midday, leaving little reason to hurry before stepping out towards Chueca, Puerta del Sol or the bars of Malasaña. Later, the downstairs restaurant shifts towards cocktails, music and dinner, while summer evenings unfold above the rooftops. It is a strong choice for travellers who want nightlife and central Madrid within walking distance, but still prefer a small hotel with personality.
